The role of weakening pelvic floor muscles has been associated as a major contributing factor to female Urinary Incontinence (UI). Women’s pelvic floor muscles, which act as a support structure for internal organs naturally become weaker as they age and go through milestone events including pregnancy, childbirth and menopause. This can lead to the loss of bladder control and involuntary urine leakage, as well as other related symptoms.
Exercise routines are often attempted as a first line of defense, however they quickly fall short of expectations due to a lack of adherence or discipline. The pelvic floor is a complex network of muscles & ligaments that takes years to weaken and therefore requires targeted therapy to reverse the negative effects associated.
As a result, women suffering from UI should consider proven, effective treatment options that address pelvic floor muscle weakness but are less invasive, before resorting to medical procedures and surgery.
